I had some time, so this is to make up for the delay of the last chapter.
Enjoy! ;)

I struggled with my attacker but they whipped me around and slammed me against the rock.
Guy Kopski.
"Shh, be quiet. Stop wriggling, will you?" he whispered. I pulled my semi automatic gun on him and he backed off.
"So you're alive then?"
He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes.
"No thanks to you. Look, I'm going on the theory that you just got tangled up in wrong mess here Harley. You're not one of them. They're gonna get taken away but if you keep to the story that they had you hostage and forced you to come here then-"
"Go to hell. I'm not that pathetic. I chose to be here with them, I'll stick with them no matter what."
We were talking so quietly that the others couldn't hear. Their banter continued behind us.
"Harley, please. I'm trying to help you here."
"Why? I almost killed you."
"You were delusional. You thought I was him."
He glared behind us at he Joker.
"I'm pregnant," I announced. Guy's eyes went wide with shock. Horror. Confusion. It was all there.
"Wi-with mine? Is it mine?!"
"It could be yours. Or it could be his," I grinned.
"Well...well we need to find out. We can get you to the hospital and-"
"No no no, enough talking," I sighed, pulling him close to me. He closed his eyes, expecting an adrenaline-fuled kiss. I swiftly twisted his arm behind his back and swung round him so that we then stood facing the cage, with me behind his tall figure. I pushed the pistol to the back of his head.
"Walk."
"Harley, you can't just-"
"I said walk!"
He obeyed my order and we walked towards everyone. I could see another person had joined them. A woman. She wore a tight leather costume with a mask that formed ears.
Catwoman.
"Harleen?" Gordon gasped.
"Good evening, Commissioner. Batman. Catwoman," I nodded, "isn't this nice?"
"Robin, she won't shoot you. Just walk away," Batman told him.
"Don't be so sure on that, Batman. I think you underestimate me. You see, Guy here...uh, Robin...well you know that it was me who left him for dead. Did you know that, Gordon? Did Batman let you in on that little secret?"
As I walked closer, secretly struggling to keep my stance with Guy, I noticed that the gaps in the bars of the cage were filled with a blue tinted light. Almost invisible, an electric forcefield.
"Put the gun down," Catwoman's silky voice commanded.
"Oh please," I scoffed.
"Harleen, what are you doing?"
"I haven't been a hostage, Commissioner," I continued, "the reason you haven't found me is because I didn't want to be found."
Gordon looked sick. His lips were clamped together and he bowed his head.
